Importing PDF files

Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) is a common file format for sharing
documents across most computer platforms. PDF documents can be viewed or printed with
Adobe Acrobat Reader. FreeHand can open and import PDF documents.
FreeHand preserves notes and links to URLs in PDF documents. By default, Acrobat notes are
placed on a separate layer called the Notes layer, and URLs are placed on the URLs layer.
If FreeHand cannot determine the assigned path area, it places linked notes as rectangles on
the URLs layer.
FreeHand also preserves linear and radial gradient fills that were originally generated in FreeHand
and exported to PDF. PostScript 3 gradient mesh fills are converted to 10% black fills.
For imported PDF text, FreeHand uses only the fonts that are installed on your system. If a font
match is not found, FreeHand displays the Missing Fonts dialog box, which lets you select
replacement fonts. (For more information on PDF font support, see your Adobe Acrobat
documentation.)
To open a PDF document in FreeHand:
Select File > Open, select the desired PDF file, and click Open.
1
If the document you are importing is a multipage PDF, FreeHand generates a page in the
document to hold the content for each PDF page. Each page has the same size and orientation
as the original page in the PDF.
If prompted to replace fonts, see the procedure in "Replacing missing fonts" on page 66.
2
If the text in the PDF file is displayed as individual text blocks, combine these text blocks using
3
the text tools.
Tip: If an entire page appears as a single object with the graphic elements pasted inside, select the page with the
Pointer tool and select Edit > Cut Contents to release the graphic elements.
